Hermann Distel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Distel (born September 5, 1875 in Weinsberg , † August 15, 1945 in Hamburg-Bergedorf ; full name: Hermann Christian Distel ) was a German architect .

Life

Distel studied first at the Technical University of Stuttgart , then at the Technical University of Karlsruhe with Carl Schäfer and Friedrich Ratzel . After graduating in 1902, he gained his first professional experience in Karlsruhe (in the architectural office of Robert Curjel and Karl Moser ), Zurich , Berlin , Freiburg im Breisgau and Breslau .

With his college friend August Grubitz, he founded the architecture firm Distel und Grubitz in Hamburg in 1905 , which specialized in the field of hospital construction in the 1930s.

The house built between 1910 and 1911 in today's Hermann-Distel-Straße 31 in the Hamburg district of Bergedorf was designed by the architect as a residential building for himself and his family; he lived there until his death. Part of the furniture, also designed by Distel, was preserved. The building is an example of the so-called reform architecture after the turn of the century and is a listed building .
